My husband has been sanding the tops of three pieces of bedroom furniture and he has really had to do alot of sanding to get to the point that the top layer is even in color. He is going to stain the tops of the furniture, then put a polyacrylic varnish on top. I am going to chalk paint the rest od each piece. We have completed one small dresser and it does take time when you clean, sand, stain, varnish then paint and wax but it came out beautifully. Much of the time is waiting for finishes to dry in between coats..... worth all of the time and the breaks did us good too.
I would use the stripper again. I Have had to go over pieces several times to get all of the old varnish off. It looks to be the dark areas still have varnish and the lighter areas don't.
